I book a reservation to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Overall my experience was great and yes I would return. However there are few things that could make the experience better. I didn’t like that my food came out separate. I ordered catfish collard greens and sweet potatoes casserole. My sweet potatoes casserole came out first, then 10mins later my catfish n greens. So I wasn’t to happy about that. My daughter had crab claws, wings fries and Mac n cheese. Neither one of us liked the Mac n cheese..it had a weird texture and taste. Besides that everything else was great. Waitress was very friendly. Restroom was clean and smelled clean as well. Parking was easy. Love the grass wall. I definitely will be back. Thanks so much.
